Lately I have been away from the paper crafts and into my jewerly crafts. I have been makiing elastic rings with swavorski crystals, seed beads and glass beads. Most of the supplies I have gotten from the dollar store except the crystals... I get those off ebay since they are cheaper. I am going to start making window sun catchers once I get the supplies for that.

Here are the rings I made so far. My favorites are the pink one and blue,black and clear one.

Here is a picture of just my favorites:

Here are my favorites not on my fingers:

Hope you all are having a craftistic day! Let me know what you think of my rings.

Yesterday I had decided to make a birthday card for my nephew's birthday that is on the 15th. He's going to be 6 years old.. (boy time flies) and he loves dogs, so I was trying to find a puppy svg file when I remembered on the sweethearts cricut cartridge has a puppy on it for puppy love.... so I thought that would be perfect.

I cut the puppy out at 3 1/2 inches and the paper I used was paper that I had on hand from creative memories and the dollar store. I used some glitter glue for the tounge. When it was first made I loved it until my daughter got her hands on my vintage photo distress ink and started banging it over the puppy which created the lines.. *sigh* however I didnt want to make another one so I figured my nephew is not going to care either way.

Here is the photo of the card. I used an ek success punch I had for the bottom on the card and then pasted the chocolate cardstock behind it just to make it all coordinate.

Then the next project that I started to make (since my daughter fell alseep) were the easter bags that I decided to make for my 2 neices and nephew.. only got the 2 girls done. So I had gotten these bags from the dollar store they are favor bags, and I just reinforced it with pink creative memories paper I had. The eggs were from a scrapbook calendar that I cut out.

I am planning on putting some easter treats in these bags.. I have some playdough eggs that I had gotten from the dollar store and I will probably put an kinder surprise egg in each and then whatever else easterish I can find that will fit nicely.

Hope you all like it! Thanks! Let me know if you have questions or what you think of my projects.

I know again it has been a while since I last posted, I have been busy with my daughter and couldn't seem to find the time to do anything crafty as if I take it all out to do while she is around things will start disapearing off the table.... or she'll want to sit with me or fits. Today she spent the day with her dad sooooo that means I got to do something crafty. I decided to use these new stamps that I had gotten about a month ago from a Lady that had an online store and she has recently closed shop so now she is selling her stock cheapish.. so I got some things. I will first post the picture, then say what copic markers I used and what non-copic markers I used (I only have 6 of them), as well as what stamp I used underneath the picture.

First one:

I used Copic markers for this picture were E00, E02, B12. B05, BV00, BV04. Then the yellow and green and brown colours were just crayola markers that I had. The image was from the Penny Black - Beach Day stamp set.

Second Image:

For these birds I used BV00 for base colour and BV04 for the darker colour. The second bird I used B12 as the base colour, then B05 as the darker colour. The image was from Autumn Leaves - mindy Zoo stamp set. I really like these birds and think they turned out pretty cute.

Thrid Image:

For this image I only used one copic marker which was the BV00 for the purple monkey, the balloon and brown monkey I used regular crayola markers. The image was a wood mount stamp that I got it is Stampendous - Changito's Love Balloon.

Fourth Image:

In this image I used a green crayola marker for the leaves, then I used B12. B05, BV00, BV04 for the folowers. To stamp the images I used Memento - Tuxedo Black for all of the images. The paper I stamped on was white cardstock from a neutral package I got from the Dollarama store.. which I LOVE! they have all kinds of good deals. I got 50 8'1/2 x 11 cardstock sheets for $2.00. Figured I couldnt go wrong with that.. and it worked great for the colouring.

Hope You all had a great Weekend! Let me know what you think. =) Toodles all.

About Me

I am a single mom of a toddler, and love to do paper crafting on my spare time, which is limited. I do have a paper collecting addiction and have a hard time using my beautiful pattern paper. lol. I love to watch my crafty youtube videos, and as a result I am learning more techniques and find my card making skills are improving.
